Detailed Description

Easy message dialog box.

Provides convenience functions for some i18n'ed standard dialogs.

The text in message boxes is wrapped automatically. The text may either be plaintext or richtext. If the text is plaintext, a newline-character may be used to indicate the end of a paragraph.

Your program messed up and now it's time to inform the user. To be used for important things like "Sorry, I deleted your hard disk."

If your program detects the action specified by the user is somehow not allowed, this should never be reported with error(). Use sorry() instead to explain to the user that this action is not allowed.

The default button is "&OK". Pressing "Esc" selects the OK-button.

NOTE: The OK button will always have the i18n'ed text '&OK'.
